Why is President Trump targeting Portland? Likely because he watched a misleading Fox News report that included video of 2020 riots and presented it as happening now. We asked our intrepid photographer to brave the war zone, and here's what he captured: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/o...

It's almost like they're trying to tell us something... ht: @magacultslayer.bsky.social

Ex-Trump White House Attorney Ty Cobb: “Trump is waging war on people who offend him… I think it will take at least a generation for 🇺🇸 to regain the freedoms we enjoyed 9 months ago.”

Fair point. When I send invoices for freelance pieces, I'm often asked to include whether I prefer to be paid through direct deposit, a paper check, or cold hard cash in a Cava bag at a pre-arranged drop site.

Every JD Vance interview: REPORTER: The president literally declared war on Democrats to military leaders. Do you agree? JD VANCE: Umm haha what I DISAGREE with is Chuck Schumer telling the American people they have to give their cars over to immigrants. But you wont report it!

Why do you straight up lie, Elise Stefanik? Tish James has unequivocally stated she will not pay for her defense with that fund. What is actually a “disturbing reminder” is what a shill you are for Trump and his nakedly partisan direction to make his lackey charge his enemy.

The Trump administration wants us to believe that they are all-powerful forces who control everything and can be reined in by neither Congress nor the Supreme Court, but if anything goes wrong, it's Mastermind Chuck Schumer's fault.

Nailed it @jimacosta.bsky.social! This truly is "The WTF Presidency". Sadly many innocent Americans will die because of the cowardice displayed by the GOP, @speakerjohnson.bsky.social and everyone who voted for nut case RFK, Jr. open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...

“America First.”

So resolve the issues. We’re not being invaded. There’s no emergency requiring tariffs. Crime is not up.

here's today's post: "Republicans are losing, and they know it" — they’ve MAGA’d themselves into a corner. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter so you never miss a post —

What are you talking about @jd-vance-1.bsky.social?? Low income women are not going to get their food benefits because YOU *cut* them in your Big Ugly Bill! It’s shameful how much you flat out lie. You are in charge. Open the government.

Gov. Pritzker on Adelita Grijalva: "Mike Johnson won't swear her in. Why is that? … She'll be the 218th signature forcing a vote to release the Jeffrey Epstein files." "Trump and Mike Johnson are working awfully damn hard to keep a sexual predator's files from being released. Makes you wonder why."

🤡

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

Rep. Jim Himes on Trump blowing up boats in the Caribbean: "The White House has not shared what they believe their legal justification is. They did put out a memo. I will tell you based on what I know now and the reading of that memo, these are illegal killings."

Trump just installed Michael Ellis as CIA general counsel, possibly to green light legally dubious CIA ops to do this as an end run around congress.

People need to start highlighting that Miller is actually the shadow President and the one calling the shots. When it was Musk who was doing it, it caused a rift between them so big that after he was out, Musk was bashing Trump claiming he is in the Epstein files.

My fellow Americans what are we even doing here bruh

THESE PEOPLE ARE RUNNING FOR THEIR LIVES FROM ANTIFA, GOVERNOR

“WHOAH! Be careful not to step in that pile of shit there!” exclaimed the man pulling his pants back up.

Murders per 100k residents: * Houston 19.0 * Dallas 16.6 * San Antonio 15.9 * Ft. Worth 10.8 * NYC 4.6

So Kilmer Abrego-Garcia will not challenge a deportation to Costa Rica, who has agreed to for him residency, but DHS won’t agree to send him there because it’s not cruel enough. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/u...

R’s have used every vehicle to ram through one-sided bills and undo bipar agreements. Yet now R’s need votes from D’s to pass a budget. R’s have NEVER discussed a budget with D’s. Other than Charlie Brown, who would ever trust R’s to fix healthcare AFTER the gov is reopened?

If Joe Biden was unable to close an umbrella there would have been +/- 1,000 think pieces in the newspapers of America questioning whether he was capable of discharging the duties of the office of President of the United States.

The Texas Military Department confirmed to @taskandpurpose.com it had replaced some of the 200 National Guard troops sent to Chicago for not being "in compliance" with validation standards. This came after photos of heavyset NG members were widely mocked. taskandpurpose.com/news/texas-n...

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

“And there’s just a real, existential question of how do you write down a law that binds an actor who’s already demonstrated willingness to disregard the law?” www.thebulwark.com/p/the-other-...

The people who want violent protests to happen are Trump, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Pete Hegseth, Tom Homan, and other senior appointees in his admin. They are doing everything they possibly can to provoke people to violence and it is obvious that is what they hope for daily.

BREAM: Open enrollments starts in November. People are already getting notices about what they may pay. I mean, that's gotta be resolved. MIKE JOHNSON: Yes, and they're eating up the clock in the month of October (Johnson canceled the House in August to avoid taking votes on Epstein)

“Donald Trump is proof that a conman doesn't have to be smart if his victims are dumb enough.” -unknown

This sadly demented man doesn't realize *he* was president on Jan 6, 2021. Get him in an assisted living facility ASAP.

With no end in sight to the funding standoff, financial anxiety is growing. One single mom in Colorado raided her retirement savings to get through the shutdown. n.pr/491z119

Protestors believe that action has meaning. Protestors are exercising the rights enshrined in the Constitution. For me, protest is about love of country. I will be there on October 18th, and I hope you will be too. #NoKings snyder.substack.com/p/no-kings-f...

"Looking through this whole poll, the single number Enten cites in his segment is basically the most pro-Trump number in the poll." Oof.

Yeah, like a vet “fixes” a cat.

If only the guy who was actually president on January 6, 2021 would’ve done something!

One more time: As it’s not “weaponization of justice” for law enforcement to prosecute someone who committed crimes trying to rob a bank, it’s also not weaponization of justice for law enforcement to prosecute someone who committed crimes trying to overthrow an American election.

“Border Patrol agents, along with other federal agents, conducted a military-style immigration raid of an apartment complex in Chicago. Video showed agents indiscriminately bursting through doors. ‘All the evidence suggests egregious violations of rights…’” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

'One influencer, for instance, accuses the Portland police chief of “allowing violent terrorists” to “run the city,” which is horseshit of the highest order.'

The One Big Beautiful Bill cut a trillion dollars from healthcare, Schoolmarm Johnson

Nothing boosts morale quite like being accidentally fired.

Those affected included members of the federal measles response unit, personnel managing Ebola containment efforts in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Epidemic Intelligence Service, and the team responsible for producing the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.

The Trump administration has now reversed the layoffs of a lot of federal employees. At the CDC, officials said some staff were mistakenly terminated due to a procedural error.

Help me out here. When did Biden take office? Who was the FBI director on January 6th? Who appointed that FBI director?
